6 Scary Ideas A Self-Help Guru Is Giving Men

Meet The Popular YouTube Professor Who Recommends "Enforced Monogamy"

The title of Canadian self-help guru Jordan Peterson's new book, 12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos, takes on an entirely different meaning once you understand that, to Peterson, chaos is equivalent to femininity. The world, he's essentially saying, needs an antidote to femininity.

Today, The New York Times published a profile of Peterson, in which he described how society has a man-on-top hierarchy for a (damn good) reason, among other ideas that make charitable reads of his logic hard to justify. The central, terrifying question we're left with is: If femininity is the root of chaos, how is he suggesting we fix it?

Don't take it from us, though. Ahead, we've rounded up the most nonsensical and, frankly, scary quotes from Peterson's profile. Make sure to head to The New York Times to read the whole piece for full context.
